The average lifespan of a building is 50 years, so the design of buildings that are constructed now will have an effect on energy consumption in our cities until well into the 2070s. This article presents the most effective options for cities to set mandatory minimum energy performance standards for buildings, to prevent locking in … Continue reading “How to set energy efficiency requirements for new buildings”
Wind farms tend to be large projects built in relatively remote areas, and in the past, they have often generated more disturbance than benefits for local communities. This World Bank report discusses models that allow host communities of wind energy projects to benefit more from those projects.
This is Energypedia’s Wind Portal. It provides an overview of wind energy technology, preparatory studies needed to plan a wind energy project, wind energy policy frameworks, and wind energy project implementation, operation, MEL and impacts.
This report provides recommendations for improving the availability of sex-disaggregated and specific gender equality data in the energy sector, to improve decision making and programme design.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in renewable energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in wind energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in solar energy, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
This report provides baseline data on women’s employment in hydropower, as well as information on barriers to gender equality and recommendations to close gender gaps.
This report provides extensive data and analysis on men and women’s views on gender equality in 32 countries around the world, including Uganda and Bolivia.
This guide aims to help energy statisticians understand the various elements and processes involved in renewable energy data collection and management, and identify capacity gaps. It covers seven requirements for effective data management: 1. Legal and institutional frameworks; 2. Well-defined data requirements; 3. Sufficient skilled personnel; 4. Clear methodologies and processes; 5. Appropriate data collection … Continue reading “Capacity needs assessment for renewable energy statistics”
